Everyone complaining about Ontario, but in the alternatives mentioned, Churchill, Manitoba should be on the list.

I assume it's better to leave it and have it not work, then them sneak it on without me knowing or baking it into something else

Maybe this gives me a false sense of security but I bought the adguard pro on social stack (I think...). I just turn all of the connections off on gemini, meta and Bixby. Like this

Unfortunately they're by a Canadian author and I haven't seen them even at my local library even.

It's "The Power of a Playlist" and the workbook as well

 

I just bought two kindle books that were only available as ebooks and I didn't realize that it has been made so difficult to download them. Everything I search comes up with "download them before Feb. 25th!"

Has anyone got a work around for this? I have no desire to use the kindle app to read them and I HATE that I don't own these books to do as I please.

If I'm using lidarr with Windows can this still be done or is this a Linux only thing? I checked out the website for soularr and it looks like it's Linux or docker only.

Same with MB. Trips are on "pause". PD funding for conferences in the states is likely next (it happened last time during Trump 1.0 and the bathroom laws)

Couldn't have said it better myself. I used plex for free for the better part of a decade. Bought lifetime when a raise was coming and it was still $140 (kicking myself because at one point with a sale I was looking at something like $45).

I've used plex pass enough, and it's my main driver for all our entertainment outside of music and audiobooks that if they asked for some more money, I wouldn't care so much.

The ease of use, the UI, and remote access without having to jump through a bunch of hoops is worth it.

No shade to Jellyfin, but it's not nearly as dumb dumb friendly.

It boggles most of us too. Even the most conservative people in my circles are taking up anti American purchasing practices, uniting under the maple leaf. Even the most conservative people in my circles are looking to te liberal party as the only sane option (which is an entirely different conversation but the point is PP scares them)

Canadian's too!

There was something else I read saying it was down to pandemic levels of border crossing. You know....when it was only essential

I try to use Foss but only when it's a lateral move. I tried Linux mint. It came close but there were so many little things that just didn't make sense to me as someone who used windows for the last 25 years. Do I want to use Windows 11? No, especially with everything they've been doing to it. But in terms of usability, the sacrifices that I make by using Windows 11 outweigh the extra work, frustration, and time spent trying to figure out Linux (tried 3 different distros too).

I have 3 little kids, a full time job and aging parents. I don't have hours every day to try and make stuff work.

 

Everyone and their dog has a Canadian coffee they love and post here it seems but I'd argue Jacked-Up Jill is the best one. Manitoba roasted and owned, supports women's initiatives in MB. The owner travelled to the places she sources her beans from and buys from co-ops, etc. She has been and usually is in direct contact with the sources of her beans so she can stand behind her product personally.

 

Not sure if this counts as the material is sourced from overseas but it's Winnipeg owned and operated. Their Luxe line is the most comfortable clothing I own. They also take part in social and local initiatives.

I have broad shoulders and I find their Luxe clothing just fits better than the cheap off the rack stuff. On the zip and the long-sleeve I did have to size up from an xl to xxl
